Yesterday, our Family Experience department hosted its 2nd Annual Thanksgiving Bake ‘n Take, bringing families together to bake delicious goodies and hand-deliver them to local first responders.

The flood was a global devastation. Mankind was fundamentally eradicated. Only a few select people survived that horrific situation. Yet can we blame the people of that generation? Did they realize the extent of their sins or even imagine the eventual punishment that they would incur?
